Weeds has been an interesting new series so far, naturally enough the
show's buzz is quite strong. The new episode was a little wacky though; there's
something about the characters that doesn't always ring true, and last night

Mercury's temperature fluctuations are for entirely different reasons.

Yup. And, of course, the end effects of climate change will be the same regardless of whether or not humans are causing it. The question is, can we do anything about it? Of course that rather ties back into whether or not we are causing it -- if it's happening despite us then it's unlikely we can reduce it significantly. If it's happening in part because of us then we might be able to ameliorate the effects.

And, of course, there are other issues with pollution that are hardly controversial.

Anyway, he still was a total fucking dumb ass idiot for saying that.

Yeah. Although I do wonder if the number of severe storms has increased in the last N years. It's a hard question to quantify though. And it doesn't address the root cause even if true.
